Comment, Full thread^[log] is full of of their usual brain surgery. AMR links multiple studies and says men's combined perpetrator rate for categories of sexual violence (rape, attempted rape, sexual assault) is 5-15%.

Addressing the studies is too challenging though. Suckers try appropriating race,

Look 15% of the negro population are criminals. [...] and thus all should be viewed with suspicion.

Unlike suckers, AMR didn't use a slur, or conclude all men are bad.

And this attempt at hyperbole fails since the actual studies already include black people, and black-only rates would probably be comparable. If 10% of men (including black men) perpetrate sexual violence, probably comparable rates of black (only) men do too.

Suckers try to Logic,

14.8% of women were victims of rape at some point during their lifetime

So according to THEIR OWN source, these women must behaving as rape magnets for a larger group of rapists if the 15% figure is true.

A bit silly to compare the paper's only estimate of victimization rates (14.8%) to the highest of 14 studies of perpetrator rates, but so what? Especially where there are more women than men in the population, closing the gap: is it so hard to believe that ~ 1 in 50 rape victims is raped by more than one person? Even though we know victims are at higher risk than the general population?

Was it necessary to joke, insult, and erase such victims? "Rape magnets," stay classy.

They try logic again,

I guess female on female rape ain't a thing according to them.

(Because that would further open the gap between 14.8% female victims and 5-15% male perpetrators)

Guess they don't see that cuts both ways, because male-on-male violence exists too.

Cringeworthy mythos. Sorry for the line-by-line but I think this is largely why their sub still has downvote issues, just as they did in SRSS, and even after shadowbans. They have such embarrassing, half-thought ideas.

Not a single comment actually touches the data, or honestly represents its implications or presentation in AMR. Overall their issue is that 1/8 perpetrator rate is intolerably high, yet they seemingly think 1/16 or 1/20 is unremarkable. Ridiculous and arbitrary, classic "Just World" BS.
